The 28-year-old guard is set to be a free agent after the season. But, Charlotte has no plans to move him, according to a report from The Athletic, which cites unidentified league sources.

Instead, the Hornets are “committed to contending for a playoff” spot with Walker as their leader and owner Michael Jordan “has a strong desire to re-sign” him in the offseason, according to the report.

Walker has averaged 28.1 points and 5.9 assists per game during the Hornets 6-5 start to the season.
